Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chapter 114 Li Xi's Ambition

Li Xi followed the long queue with his schoolbag and suitcase in hand. He put the schoolbag in front of him and carefully protected his pocket with one hand, which contained all his net worth, less than 70,000 yuan.

In addition to the year-end bonus issued by Chen Pingjiang, there is also his salary.

In previous years, Li Xi always took the green train to go home for the New Year. This year, since he had more money in his pocket, he also tried taking a plane.

After buying the ticket, Li Xi was confused as it was his first time flying. It was only after asking someone that he realized he had to check in his baggage and check in.

After getting on the plane and sitting by the window, as the flight time got closer, Li Xi couldn't help but get nervous. His heart was pounding.

Following the stewardess' instructions, I followed the brother sitting next to me, folded the small table, fastened my seat belt, and the plane began to taxi slowly.

The moment the plane took off, Li Xi felt his heart drop due to the powerful push on his back and the feeling of weightlessness. He instinctively grabbed the handrail, and his whole body was almost stuck to the seat because the plane was climbing the slope.

He licked his lips, smiled and whispered: "It's really exciting, hehe."

After the plane was flying smoothly, the stewardess came out with a small cart. Li Xi, who was sitting in the middle, tilted his head and asked the older man next to him, "Brother, how much is this thing?"

If it is too expensive, he will not eat it and will go hungry.

The elder brother next to him saw that this was probably Li Xi's first time on a plane, so he smiled and said, "It's free, eat whatever you want, and if it's not enough, you can keep asking for more."

"That's good."

Li Xi was so frightened by the turbulence during the flight that his face turned pale and his muscles tensed. After getting off the plane, he cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, I will never take a plane again next time."

Li Xi's home is in a village next door to Changqing City.

He now takes a taxi to the bus station and takes a bus to Changqing City, then takes a minibus to the county, and finally takes a three-wheeled vehicle back to Shanghe Village from the county.

With the Loess Plateau behind it, it looks gray at a glance, but every time Li Xi sets foot on this land, he can't suppress his excitement.

We left Dongjiang in the morning and arrived home in the evening.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Li Xi laughed and shouted when he was still some distance away from the house, until he walked into the dilapidated little house on the side of the road.

"Oh, big brother is back." When the younger sister, who was in the third grade of junior high school, saw Li Xi, she danced with joy in surprise and shouted towards the main hall.

Soon, Li Xi's younger brother and old mother both stuck their heads out.

"Brother, did you bring me anything delicious?" Li Shi grabbed his brother's arm and was reluctant to let go.

Li Xi touched his brother and sister's heads lovingly and said, "It's in the bag, you can find it yourself."

After receiving the order, Li Shi hurriedly began to rummage through the suitcase.

"You only know how to eat every day. I hate you rummaging through boxes." Li Meng glared at his brother.

"Mom, where is my dad?" Li Xi turned around and asked his mother.

"I'm in the field. I should be back soon. How come you're so tanned?"

Li Xi smiled and said, "I got it while working."

When talking about this, Yang Kaixiu's eyes moistened. The eldest son was the most sensible among the children. After going to college, he resolutely refused to ask for a penny from his family and worked outside to support himself. This made Yang Kaixiu feel very guilty and felt that she had not fulfilled her obligations as a parent. "Is it hard?"

Li Xi shook his head: "It's not hard at all. I joined a good company, and my boss and colleagues are all very nice to me."

At this time, Li Zuquan walked into the mud courtyard carrying a hoe, saw Li Xi at a glance, and said with a smile: "Is the eldest son back?"

At noon, Yang Kaixiu prepared four or five side dishes. The family was poor and they might not eat meat once a month. When Li Xi came back, Yang Kaixiu cut three taels of meat.

Li Xi started to cry while eating the home-cooked meals made by her mother.

Because Li Xi had to work during the summer vacation to save up tuition, he could only come back once a year. This time when he came back, he saw that his mother had more white hair on her temples and his father's back was more hunched.

After thinking for a while, Li Xi ran back to the inner room, took out the schoolbag he was carrying, and under the puzzled gazes of everyone, he found a pair of scissors to cut open the sewn pocket, took out the bank card and handed it to his mother Yang Kaixiu.

Yang Kaixiu and Li Zuquan looked at each other and said, "Why are you giving me this? You still have to go to school, and the money you earn from odd jobs in your spare time is not enough for you to spend."

Li Xi smiled proudly and pointed at the bank card and said, "This is not a small amount of money. It's 68,000 yuan. I earned it this year."

"How many?"

"What?"

The couple exclaimed in unison. They had never seen so much money in their lives.

"Where did so much money come from? I hope you didn't use it to do anything bad outside." Yang Kaixiu looked at the banknote in his hand with some worry. It felt heavy for a moment and he wanted to find a place to hide it immediately.

Li Xi continued to eat, saying, "Didn't I tell you? If you meet a good boss, these are wages, and you will earn more in the future."

"What kind of job can earn so much?" For the Li family, who could hardly save two or three thousand yuan a year, 68,000 yuan was almost an astronomical figure.

Li Xi patiently explained to his parents and younger brothers and sisters for a long time.

Yang Kaixiu was relieved, and then reminded: "Your boss is so good to you, you must work hard to repay him."

"Of course." Li Xi continued with a smile, "Tomorrow I'll go to town and buy some new clothes for Li Shi and Li Meng, and some New Year's goods."

When they heard that they would have new clothes to wear, the brother and sister immediately grinned with eager expressions on their faces, wishing they didn't have to wait until tomorrow.

"Don't spend it recklessly. This is the money you earned through hard work. Mom will keep it for you and use it to help you get married in the future." Yang Kaixiu was an honest rural woman who was hardworking and dutiful. She really didn't want to use the money earned by her eldest son to improve her family's lives.

Li Xi comforted his mother: "Our company is getting bigger and bigger, and I have become a team leader. I will definitely make more money next year. The money we earn is to be spent."

So, Yang Kaixiu said nothing.

Li Zuquan smiled with satisfaction: "My eldest son has made great progress."

Girls grow up early, and Li Meng's eyes are full of love and admiration when she looks at her elder brother.

Li Shi, who is very playful, is still thinking about what to do and what to eat when he goes to town tomorrow.

Looking at the happy family, Li Xi expressed his gratitude to his boss Chen Pingjiang and Renren from the bottom of his heart. If it were not for Chen Pingjiang, it would take Li Xi two or three days to go home. If it were not for Chen Pingjiang, he would have no money to give to his parents, let alone money to improve his family's living environment.

Looking at his mother's kind smile and his brothers and sisters working hard at their meals, Li Xi made up his mind to follow his boss closely. If his boss needed him to, he would work hard for Renren all his life.

　The shortfall was 2000 yesterday and 3000 today. I will make up for it as soon as I feel better.

　　Hong Chen got gastroenteritis yesterday. He was in pain and had diarrhea for two days. Everyone should keep warm.

　　Regarding this chapter, I planned to describe it from Li Xi's perspective very early on. I hope to describe Chen Pingjiang's help to the people around him through several different perspectives, and Li Xi is one of them.

　　Finally, the transition chapters may be a bit boring. I will speed up when I feel better, so don't worry.
